Kick-off for MOVING TFF 2017. The film cycle at the Library/Mediatheque is being inaugurated by the screening of La gente resta by Maria Tilli.

For its sixth consecutive year, Moving TFF is proposing a month of initiatives "in motion" for the city, linked to the multifaceted universe of cinema, and intending to highlight the history of the Torino Film Festival. This event is conceived and coordinated by Altera and Centro di Cooperazione Culturale, organised in collaboration with UCCA (Unione Circoli Cinematografici Arci), Arci Piedmont, National Cinema Museum and Torino Film Festival.

This edition actually features two novelties. The first three screenings will take place in as many cities of the region (Biella, Pinerolo and Saluzzo), moreover, Moving TFF 2017 has been selected within the Crowdfunder35 call for a matching grant in a crowdfunding campaign, which will make Moving TFF grow even more, allowing it to screen films in unusual locations in town like Le Nuove prison, Banca Etica, Area 12 Shopping Center and Ciclofficina letteraria.

Screenings, exhibitions and events will take place in several locations in Turin and Piedmont, to give life to an even more involving and packed edition of Moving TFF, so as to accompany the public towards its rendez-vous with the 35th TFF, which will take place from 24 November to 2 December 2017.

For the occasion of Moving TFF, the Mario Gromo Library/Mediatheque is proposing a metaphorical journey into contemporary Italy with three documentaries, capable of sending back a glimpse of the reality of our country through a disenchanted, lucid and emotionally involving vision. Starting from reconnoitring in places often marked by painful current and past affairs, an itinerary takes shape – from the north to the south of the Peninsula – stressing the limits and the fears, the dreams and the desires of everyday life, suspended as it waits in uncertainty. This Moving TFF journey will be inaugurated at the Library/Mediatheque with the screening of La gente resta by Maria Tilli.

Admission to the screenings is free. Free registration on the spot at the Mario Gromo Library/Mediatheque. Admission with Arci membership cards at their clubs.

Maria Tilli

La gente resta (People remain)

(2015; Italy, 62’)

Tamburi, the most polluted neighbourhood in Italy. The one where Ilva is located in Taranto and where Cosimo, Tonino and Giuseppe, the three Resta brothers, have always lived. Three lives divided between the sea and work at the factory, between fear for their health, endangered by pollution, and the wish to remain there, where they were born.

Emiliano Dante

Habitat – Note personali (Habitat - Personal notes)

(2014; Italy, 55’)

Living at L’Aquila after the earthquake, a catastrophic event which has morphed into an everyday experience for many. The five-year long story of the filmmaker and his two former tent-mates Alessio and Paolo. The first is a squatter who has become a real estate agent, the other was a real estate owner and now, without anything to rent out any more, he has taken up painting. Alessio lives with Gemma in a hamlet destroyed by the earthquake; Paolo is about to become a father in a situation of absolute uncertainty. An insight into the alienating reality of the C.A.S.E. projects, non-locations devoid of an identity, far from the urban, historic and cultural fabric of the city.

Thursday 12 October, at 3.30 p.m.

Penelope Bortoluzzi

La passione di Erto (The Passion of Erto)

(2013; Italy-France, 78’)

Erto is one of the villages struck by the wave that smashed into the underlying valley in 1963, spilling over from the Vajont dam. For centuries, the Erto people have staged the Passion of Christ on the evening of Good Friday: the tragedy of History and timeless Ritual crisscross without ceasing.
